I live near London and there are lots of different views about the 2012 Olympics this year. Personally I am looking forward to it (I have tickets myself) but I was wondering what your views are, especially if you're from another part of the world!

I can't really say anything right now. I'll tell you after the Olympics are over. It's a huge undertaking so I hope the organizers will do a good job.

If this is anything to go by, we should be in for a great Olympics.

Also, don't forget the missiles and the soldiers.

i hate the way the olympics are thrown. $40 million for countries to parade around at the opening ceremonies? i wonder how that much money could help the research on a disease? but no its wasted on a parade. and $14 billion for the entire thing? extensive, no? so NBC gave $300 million to olympic comitee. surely they gave double that to research that would cure cancer or AIDS, right? wrong again.

besides that, i feel that the USA womens soccer team will take the gold. they are the dream team of soccer in my opinion. Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, and Abby Wambach are an amazing trio. Of course their defense is headed with Hope Solo which helps.

I love how the world cares about sports like field hockey and swimming
and gymnastics for one month out of four years.

****-up. Seriously, the amount of mistakes England made, like the North Korean womens football team being shown South Korean. Stupid. It's not all bad, but the mistakes should'nt have been made.

And yes, I said England. It's a UK thing, where if something turns out good its UK, if something turns out bad, its the particular country, as stated above.
